Beth,

A few you might want to spend some time with:

Vince Guaraldi - Cast Your Fate to the Wind; and there's also another Peanuts related album that's not holiday specific
Antonio Carlos Jobim - find a good collection.  You probably have some overlap with the Gilberto but this will open it up some more.  I have a Verve compilation that I simply love.
Bill Evans - there's a LOT out there, I've always liked his trio work.

Personally, I don't think this is entirely off topic, as I've always thought these folks have a particular affinity for great melody lines.
